Jason Murray—CEO & co-founder of Shipium and 19-year Amazon vet—joins Everything Is Logistics to unpack what really moves the needle for shippers: accurate delivery promises, multi-carrier execution, and where AI agents add real value today.

We get into the “coordination layer” most retailers are missing across OMS/WMS/TMS, building a digital twin of your network, and why faster can actually be cheaper when your method mix and lanes are modeled correctly. Favorite line: Shipium’s role is a “super-sophisticated calculator” for decisions the human brain (and spreadsheets) simply can’t keep up with.

Key takeaways

• The coordination gap is costly. Most enterprises make siloed decisions in OMS/WMS; the win is a horizontal optimizer that weighs transportation, inventory, and cost together.
• Promise precision beats blanket speed. Customers want confidence in “by Thursday,” not generic “2-day.” Model ship dates and probability of arrival—and constantly backtest your predictions.
• Digital twins drive smarter choices. Shipium models lanes, cutoffs, and costs in real time to choose carrier/method, where to ship from, and what to promise.
• AI agents = productivity multipliers. Early wins: a “what happened to this shipment?” chat workflow, and agents watching network signals (the old Amazon “little red button”) to trigger reroutes.
• Money on the table. Method optimization and delivery-promise installs have driven multi-million-dollar annual savings for large retailers.
